Warning: If the following illusion makes you nauseous or dizzy, please scroll down to the next post.

The Purple Nurple, as this illusion is called, is what’s known as an anomalous motion illusion (sometimes grouped in with animation optical illusions), whereby a series of shapes and colors creates the appearance of movement while staying completely still. The illusion style was first created, studied and perfected by Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka, who noticed that certain images appear to move when viewed with your peripheral vision.

The effect is utterly surreal, making the viewer feel as though he or she is on some type of psychedelic drug, even if he or she has never messed with the stuff before. This particular image was created by Walter Anthony.

Hey Jill,
nauseous is not the way something makes you feel it is an adjective. When somthing makes you sick to your stomach you are nauseated. If you are nauseaous you make others sick to their stomach or nauseated.
A common error but I thought you may want to know.

Cool but it kinda gave me a small headache =). Okay just real quick how the heck did you look at this site at this site at 2:29 Rochelle Kris? :>

This is a great illusion! I don’t even have to use my peripheral vision…..just have to drink too much coffee. LOL

And to Aaron, ZL and Jill…..who cares if it’s nauseous or nauseated, we get the point. And if it’s been posted before, just move on and wait for the next one. SOME OF US ARE NEW HERE AND HAVEN’T SEEN THEM ALL.

Agreed, this is one of my iGoogle gadjets along with sports scores, jokes of the day, and other distractions like a deduction game I’m addicted to…
Keep it coming!
